@FediFollows @verge @Gargron Precision: it's a bot tooting news published elsewhere, so not really an "official account".
It's a verified account?
@FediFollows @stemy @Gargron @verge
yes it's a verified account.
My main question is whether it'll become a hub for discussions, perhaps interactions with authors. Like comments section of website, I guess. Hope so.
@gpollara @FediFollows @stemy @verge A lot of the people working at The Verge are on Mastodon. You can interact with them today. I would not expect to do it through a company account.
@Gargron @FediFollows @stemy @verge yes, that's right, many of them active on here. Hopefully the posts on mastodon will include name of author, so that they do extend conversations, reply, etc....
My comment wasn't a criticism at all - I like it when Mastodon posts stimulate interesting discussions and community - that's the best of social media in my mind.
